Maurice Jones-Drew

[Adam Mac]

I am putting a big amount of stock into this guy this year and drafted him as one of my RBs. I'm not sure if this is smart because he's not even technically a starter. What do you think?

[Walter]

I wouldn't draft him. Fred Taylor and Jones Drew are going to split carries 50-50.

[Matt McGuire]

I disagree Walter. Taylor has always been an injury risk. MJD is a solid late 2nd round, early 3rd round pick.

[Walter]

You're going to spend a 2nd- or a 3rd-round pick on a guy who needs another player to get hurt? That's a recipe for a 1-4 start.

[Adam Mac]

Ya but who else would you take at that late spot? I'm not one for draftng a WR that high

[Adam Mac]

You have Jones Drew #8 RB on your fantasy top players board Walter so is that a mistake or???

[Walter]

I think he'll produce, which is why I have him so high, but there's a chance he won't, so I'd rather take a Thomas Jones or Cedric Benson, whom I know will get the carries.

[Mark]

He was a touchdown machine last year. Fred Taylor doesn't score touchdowns, he only had 5 last season. While Jones-Drew had 13 rushing touchdowns, and two receiving. Not to mention the 43 receptions JD had.

[Walter]

I'd just rather have someone who's consistent with a second-round pick. MJD is a type of player who will put up monster fantasy numbers one week, and nothing the next.

[schmidty]

He is a solid pick but i would not pic him in the 1st round, and if you do that than you are forced to take Fred Taylor and it then becomes a matchup of week to week pretty much. I do agree with walt, in respect of you cant take a running back based on if the other RB gets injured. In fact no one expected Fred Taylor to have the year that he did. Think about it!
